SkyGlow is a premier drone entertainment company that produces live performances synchronized with fireworks. During their peak season, they received a last-minute request for a patriotic USA-themed drone show.

The client needed custom animations for 10 patriotic symbols—US flag, rockets, fireworks, fighter jet, Uncle Sam's hat, Liberty bell, stars, USA text, eagle, and US map. The show would be performed live with fireworks synchronization, and they needed everything delivered in less than a week.

At that point, they needed a partner who could deliver custom drone show animations on an extremely tight timeline without compromising quality or missing the synchronization requirements with their fireworks display.

The Task

Create 10 custom drone show animations for 150 drones, including:

• US flag, rockets, fireworks, fighter jet, Uncle Sam's hat, Liberty bell, stars, USA text, eagle, and US map
• Animations formatted for SkyGlow's system
• Timing synchronized with fireworks sequences
• Mockups and full show render delivered in less than 7 days
• Initial communication handled via WhatsApp for speed

How We Worked

Initial Communication

The client delivered their vision through WhatsApp messages, describing the desired patriotic imagery. We transformed these text-based descriptions into visual concepts and moved directly into production.

Animation Development

We created 10 mockup animations, each optimized for 150 drones. Each animation was designed to read clearly from multiple viewing angles and synchronize with specific fireworks timing moments.

Fireworks Integration

We aligned animation transitions with the client's fireworks choreography, ensuring visual elements complemented pyrotechnic bursts without revealing proprietary timing information.

What We Delivered
